Well I must have done something right. Cryptozoic sent me the Locke & Key card game today. And I opened it. And filmed myself doing it too. Welcome to the new Locke & Key unboxing event…
Why The Hell Isn’t There A My Little Pony Comic Book?
Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool. But first, they feel they must follow their hearts (hooves), and use their connections to get a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic made!…
Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…
The First Page Of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Revealed At Angoulême
We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…

Captain America TV Spot Spoils The Film’s… Beginning?
The tagline for the original Gambit was: Go ahead – tell the ending – it’s too hilarious to keep secret – but please don’t tell the beginning! Sometimes, how a film starts is all important. This would appear to be the case with Captain America: The First Avenger, and it’s a beginning that isn’t even…
Ultimate Comics Fallout 4 Cover Is Revelatory
The revealed cover to Ultimate Comics Fallout #4 gives us a number of questions. Pascual Ferry on art? A flashback to Amazing Spider-Man #50′s “Spider-Man No More”? And could this be the first time the new Ultimate Spider-Man puts on the suit? It is a different looking suit for sure… a darker hue. Seriously, can…
Is Missing Children’s Crusade #6 Ending The Sign Of A Pirate?
I have in my hands a copy of Avengers: Children’s Crusade #6. The story is 22 pages long and ends with a spoileriffic climactic scene that may inform the future X-Men plotlines considerably. It’s an ending that some people have failed to have read however. I’m getting reports that some copies of this comic ran…
Flashpoint, Malware And Doctor Who Toys And Statues…
What with the DC blog being considered a malware site right now, here’s a perfectly safe way to see the San Diego Comic Con Flashpoint Zoom exclusive figure from Graphitti at Booth #2315. And while we’re talking about dolls, Big Chief Studios, the guys behind the Golden Compass and Harry Potter 3+3/4″ figures have a…
Wednesday Comics Review: Uncanny X-Men #539 And Flashpoint: Canterbury Cricket
One is a comic book written by a Brit, set in America. One is written by an American, set in Britain. Let’s see how they do. When I first heard the title Canterbury Cricket, I envisaged, well, the Canterbury cricket team. This is not a comic about them. No cricket even takes place, although there…
Wednesday Comics Review: CLiNT #9 Now With Added Jimmy Carr
The biggest change to CLiNT#9, in UK shops tomorrow and US shops in a month, is the lack of articles. CLiNT was always sold as a collection of comics and articles, with an eye on the newstand mainstream market, almost with comics snuck in there, initially at least, And it was the articles that suffered…
Wednesday Comics Review: Batman Incorporated #7 And FF #5
Jonathan Hickman and Grant Morrison both have reputations in superhero comics for the longform structured stories. Rather than winging it on a month by month basis, they have a plan, a way ahead, they know not only the story they’ll be writing next month, but the one they’ll be writing in four years. And so…
Grant Morrison On The Mark Millar Question
The Mindless Ones blog has just completed an interview with Grant Morrison, over his new book Supergods, beset a little by speaker interference and a roadside cherry picker. But through the white noise came some elucidation. “The S is a serpent and there is a Curse Of Superman…” “There’s something quite predatory about the superhero…
Two More DC Relaunch Logos
One from the cover of the new Previews for Justice League… the insides of which reveal nothing new, sadly. And one from, well, the Batwoman cover artwork. Basically I missed this one before. Oops. See logos for Justice League Dark, Omac, Resurrection Man, Suicide Squad, Stormwatch, Fury Of Firestorm, Demon Knights and Stormwatch here. Diamond…
Frank Miller’s Holy Terror Gets A Tag Line
As the mainstream entertainment media finally caught up with last week in announcing Frank Miller’s Holy Terror from Legendary Comics. But one thing they didn’t give, was the tag line. “Empire City Is In Peril. A Whole Lot Of Folks Need Killing”. Diamond Previews courtesy of Orbital Comics of London. Check out their Klaus Janson…
There’s Big, Brash Horseplay In The Teaser For Spileberg’s War Horse
This teaser trailer makes the film appear to be very expensive and epic. It drips with a syrupy score and shines with beautiful nature. Well, I do love horses, so you never know.
Official Trailer For Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Is Very Strong
Brad Bird has made his live action directing debut with the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible series. A film I didn’t know I wanted until Brad Bird come on board to direct. I’m not expecting him to match the best material in the series so far (we’ll go into this at another time so…

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
